After the fake tutoring arrangement turns into a real relationship, Y/N and Garrett become one of the most talked-about couples on campus. On the surface, everything looks perfect: Garrett is the star hockey player, Y/N is smart, talented, and finally starting to open up to people. Underneath, though, both of them are carrying a lot of baggage.
Y/N has always been the funny girl in her friend group. She’s known for making everyone laugh, getting into harmless trouble with her best friend Lily, and being the person everyone goes to when they’re having a bad day. To everyone else, her life looks perfect. She has an amazing best friend, a loving boyfriend named Ethan, and a normal high school life.
At the heart of Manhattan sits Hamilton Academy, the most prestigious boarding school in New York. It’s the kind of place where billionaires, politicians, celebrities, and old-money families send their children. Tuition costs more than most people’s annual salary, the uniforms are designer, and every student lives on campus in luxurious dorm houses that feel more like upscale apartments than school housing.
So, it’s 2 a.m. after the party, and you’re back at your place with Dean, Tucker, Logan, Garrett, and Hannah. The room is still a little hazy from the buzz of the night, and you’re all sprawled on the couch, passing around a bowl of popcorn like you don’t have a care in the world. As you scroll through old clips on your laptop—Miraculous Ladybug music videos, super cringe—you start laughing, but then something shifts. Garrett leans forward, his voice a little quieter, and he asks you why you never invite them to your family reunions. Your family dinners always end up in the newspaper.
You (Y/N) are fiercely independent, confident, and protective of the people you care about. You hate being manipulated and refuse to let anyone tell you what to do. When Sophie starts creating misunderstandings and pushing Zane toward her business plans, you immediately recognize that something isn’t right.
A week-long family vacation on Florida’s Gulf Coast. A massive beachfront Airbnb with a private pool, balconies overlooking the ocean, an outdoor kitchen, and enough bedrooms to start a small hotel. Every day is beach volleyball, açaí bowls, late-night swims, golf cart rides, and family chaos.
Y/N has spent her entire life hiding her true identity, choosing to attend Briar University as an ordinary student instead of living in the spotlight. Only her family knows that she’s the daughter of supermodel Adriana Lima and former NBA player Marko Jarić, and the older sister of Sienna Lima Jarić. After months of keeping the secret from her friends Garrett, Dean, Logan, Tucker, and Hannah, everything changes when several black SUVs, news crews, paparazzi, and reporters suddenly arrive on campus.
Living above your parents sounded like freedom… until your family started treating your apartment like an extension of theirs. You, your older sister Valery, and your younger sister Valesca all share one messy, dramatic apartment together, where every room screams personality.
During a sleepover at Y/N’s house, things get chaotic when her sisters completely take over her room and bed. Valery, the oldest, and Valesca, the youngest, somehow manage to spread out across the entire mattress with their boyfriends, leaving Y/N—the middle sister—barely any space at all. While everyone else is comfortable and sleeping peacefully, Y/N is left hanging off the edge of the bed trying not to fall.
After seeing Michael’s Instagram story with you, Nick spends the entire day trying to convince himself he doesn’t care. It doesn’t work. By the time he finally finds you, he’s already angry, jealous, and hurt, even though he tries to hide it behind sarcastic comments.
Everyone at school knows two things: Nick would burn the entire planet down for his little sister Emma, and you somehow always end up wherever Emma is. Kindergarten classroom? You’re there helping Ms. Jackson instead of suffering through Algebra II like a civilized teenager. Playground duty? Emma glued to your side. School event? Emma holding your hand like you personally invented safety.
You’ve hated Ethan Walker, Briar University’s star hockey player, ever since freshman year when he ruined your laptop and laughed about it. Three years later, the two of you still can’t go five minutes without arguing.
You and your best friend, Barbara, have been inseparable since forever. Every Friday night is the same: sleepovers, music blasting, gossip sessions that could end entire friend groups, and Barbara doing your nails because she’s ridiculously good at them.
You’ve always lived a chaotic but happy life in one of Spain’s wealthiest neighborhoods with your family. Your dad, William Leister , is one of the city’s most powerful businessmen. Your mom has always kept your family grounded, even when the tabloids won’t leave you alone.
After a long night at one of the Hidalgos’ parties, everyone ends up crashing at your house. With nowhere else to sleep, you, Ares, and his younger brother Apolo end up sharing your bed. It’s awkward at first, but it quickly turns into one of those quiet moments that brings you and Ares even closer. While Apolo is asleep, you and Ares exchange whispered jokes, soft conversations, and lingering looks that make it obvious your feelings for each other are only growing stronger.
